Are you holding him when he does it? Or are you down on the ground with him? If you're holding him, I'd put him down with a firm no & an explanation, then he must say sorry mummy/daddy. If you're on the floor with him, stand up away from his level & do the same, firm no & explanation. This worked for us when Zander went through a stage of grabbing my glasses, so not the same but similar. Then next time you ask him to do something & he does it without hitting, lots & lots of praise!
I need help with this too.
DS hit me over the head with a drumstick ( a real one..DH is a drummer) on Saturday and on Saturday night he hit my dad with a wooden spoon, on the head.
I have tried timeout, he thinks its a joke.
He knows its wrong, as after he hit me with the drumstick he said 'we dont hit people, only drumd' and laughed at me.
My parents have labelled him feral and want me to take him to a psychologist.
